About this program
The Department of the Air Force's Air Force Medical Research and Development program (CFDA 12.810) has not disbursed grant awards since September 2017—nearly nine years ago—making current pursuit inadvisable absent evidence of recent solicitation activity.
The program funds applied medical research and advanced development through grants and cooperative agreements with civilian educational and research institutions. Recent awards demonstrate focus on medical device development and transition: assay panels for vector-borne disease detection, advanced trauma and hemorrhage management products, and cardiovascular diagnostic equipment. Work efforts are normally concluded within 36 months from award date. Only institutions and organizations are eligible; individuals cannot apply.
All three awards in the portfolio were Cooperative Agreements, totaling $13.7 million in combined federal obligations. The Department of the Interior's Interior Business Center administered all awards, though the source identifies the program as Air Force-owned. Award magnitudes ranged from approximately $3.4 million to $7.0 million. The most recent award—$3.2 million for development of an assay panel for vector-borne disease detection—was obligated in September 2017 with a completion date of August 2022.
The single recent opportunity visible in the source is a Notice of Intent posted July 31, 2017, with an August 14, 2017 due date announcing a single-source cooperative agreement to Biomeme, Inc. for development and refinement of molecular detection technologies. This opportunity is now expired and serves only as a historical reference for program scope.
No current solicitations are evident. The program's last confirmed activity dates to 2017. Before pursuing this program, verify whether active Broad Agency Announcements or Program Announcements are currently posted on Grants.gov, as the source provides no evidence of open funding windows.

- Beneficiary eligibility
Applicants must be an institution/organization. Applications will not be accepted from individuals.
- Uses of assistance
Recipients are required to conform to their accepted research protocol and are usually required to submit some form of annual or project report. Project support is limited to research and development aimed at sustaining or enhancing the technology base or understanding a biological- medical process, thereby providing a technological edge in solving complex biological-medical problems and countering future military medical threats.
- Length and time phasing of assistance
Assistance programs are normally available for work efforts that will be concluded within 3 years (36 months) from the date of award.
How to apply
- Preapplication coordination
See funding announcement
- Criteria for selecting proposals
Proposals are selected for funding based on the evaluation criteria listed in the Command's Broad Agency Announcement (BAA) or Program Announcements (PAs). The BAA and PAs can be viewed at the Grants.gov website.
- Award procedure
Merit-based competitive procedures are utilized in accordance with notices of funding opportunities, such notices are typically called Program Announcements (PAs) or Broad Agency Announcements (BAAs). Proposals are evaluated by in-house committee and extramural review committees against the evaluation criteria listed in the Broad Agency Announcement (BAA) or Program Announcement (PA). The final stage of evaluation is the establishment of an order of merit in which all competing proposals are ranked on the basis of their respective military relevance and scientific merit evaluations. Award amount will be negotiated with those proposals recommended for funding. Awards depend upon the availability of funds and the priority which the Air Force determines to exist at the time of award.
- Renewals
Once a grant or cooperative agreement is awarded, any follow-on research proposal is treated as a new request. Follow-on work should allow for the review time noted above.
